So that's what little boys are made of.

We drove into Chicago yesterday and visited the Willis Tower (aka the tower formerly known as Sears).

[The boys in the glass box ledge that makes you feel like you are WALKING OFF THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD.]Is it the tallest building in the world? I think it used to be. You'd think I'd know this after I just went there.

Ivy's not dumb. She got down on her bum and scooted when she saw that city through the glass one-hundred-and-three stories below. I had to throw my lens cap out there to get her onto the ledge so the photographer could take a picture. She didn't go for that.

[I'm working on the pigtail thing. I feel broken as a Mom to a daughter. It's still sinking in. For real? I get to do this? Now what?](P.S. I love every second of it.)(P.P.S. Omygosh isn't she the cutest thing ever??)

[My boys.]

On the way home Carter asks, "Why do I smell pumpkins?!"In the sweetest, tiniest voice Gray sings, "I tooted."Thanks, Kim for inviting us to the #skydecktweet meet-up!Subscribe to my blog hereTwitter me- I'm babysteph

They are so adorable *sigh*. My knees go weak whenever we visit the CN tower glass floor, but Gemma? She jumps up and down on it which makes me feel faint. BTW -those pigtails should be illegal they are so cute.

OMG...my stomach fell when I saw that ledge. I don't know if I could even walk out there. You are making such wonderful memories with your kids. These are amazing pictures. I really love the one of Noah and Carter in midair. I am so proud of them for being so brave.

Oh those pigtails are just too darn cute! As is the little girl wearing them. :) Just wait until she's older and refusing to let you even touch her hair... I used to despair of ever having the time in the mornings to do the hair for 3 little girls - and now I only have one who will even let me. For now, anyway. Sigh.

I am still grappling with being a Mom to a girl too. I am a little bit of a failure when it comes to bows, etc. But when her hair is long enough, I can certainly do pigtails. Great memories for the kids and I am with Ivy, no way would I go out there!

Still waiting to be able to do pigtails with Paige... grr... I know she'll have hair one day! :)Love the conversation on the ride home! That place look so cool, though I'm not sure I'd be able to step on the clear floor...

I think Ivy's pig tails are awesome. Big Sister wears pig tails that only include the top half of her hair and stick up out of the top of her head. And I think she is cute - but I cannot wait till she has hair long enough to pull the entire thing up.

And as for that tower I do not think I could have let my kids walk on that. It looks terrifying. Luckily, Big Brother would never go out there.

(And I think the Sears tower is the tallest buidling, while the CN Tower, is the tallest free standing structure, or tower, since it doesn't have habitable stories.... or something like that. Just some Canadian trivia for ya, haha.)
